If you are still a matriculated student there is no additional charge for the professional semester. If you are a ninth semester student and have already graduated you are charged the special student fee and will need to find your own housing off campus.

Students who elect to pursue licensure either in Elementary or Secondary studies apply to the Professional Semester offered each fall semester, and upon acceptance, complete EDST 0410, the student teaching seminar, and EDST 0405-0407, the student teaching practicum in a local school. Students may elect to complete the professional semester either as seniors, or post graduation in a ninth semester.
